At Read’s of Watton, we are often asked “Why choose a rug?” There are so many reasons, least of all that their versatility, luxury and ability to transform a room.

If you have wooden or hard stone flooring, you know all to well the problem of a noisy house. All sounds are heightened and echo around your room. But for a quick, easy solve, simply choose a rug to soften the acoustics. It will also provide a comfortable, soft feel underfoot to create a cosier atmosphere for your home.

We mentioned before their versatility, but rugs really can transform your home seasonally! If your hard stone flooring leaves you cold in the winter, a woollen rug can provide can provide warmth and colour. Alternatively, a thin, cotton rug will keep you cool and comfortable in summer.

So what kind of rug is ideal for your home? Take a look at our handy guide to finding the perfect rug!

Woollen Rugs: One of the nation’s favourite rugs! Luxurious in both its look and feel, woollen rugs are incredibly resistant to life’s little dramas!

Resistant to stains and fading, they are incredibly easy to clean. The practical, durable choice for a busy family home where the odd accident is likely to happen!
